ITEM 4. | THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION. |
Item 4, The Solicitation or Recommendation is hereby amended to add the following supplemental disclosure:
The following is added immediately prior to the last sentence of the second full paragraph on page 9 of the Statement, under the heading Background of the Offer:
Parents decision not to proceed with any transaction was due to Parents conclusion that any offer it was willing to make would not provide Company stockholders a sufficient premium to the then-current stock price.
The following is added to replace the first sentence of the last paragraph beginning on page 9 of the Statement under the heading Background of the Offer-Events Occurring Prior to Board Involvement.
On September 24 and 26, 2012, Messrs. Watson, OBrien and Simmons discussed various issues relevant to the Parents inquiry, including the prospects for the Companys business, the complexity of discussions of this nature with a major customer of the Company, including the concern that Parent might pursue other alternatives to a vertical integration strategy for its titanium raw material needs in the event it could not complete a transaction regarding
2
the Company, the overall economic and political uncertainty, and the particular near-term uncertainties in the commercial aerospace industry, both of which affected current and potential future prospects for the business, potential changes in tax policy in 2013, the potential harm to the business from a protracted sale process, including the challenges that a protracted sale process could present regarding the Companys customer relationships, its employees and future business opportunities, and the alternatives of a purchase of the Affiliated Stockholder Shares, as compared to a purchase of the shares of the entire Company.
The following is added after the second sentence of the third full paragraph on page 11 of the Statement, under the heading Background of the OfferEvent Occurring Prior to Board Involvement:
Up to this point, the Contran representatives had negotiated with Parent directly on behalf of Contran and certain of its affiliates other than the Company, and had not advised the Company Board of Parents offer, because of such representatives understanding that any agreement would be solely between Contran and certain of its affiliates other than the Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand.
The following is added after the first sentence of the fourth full paragraph on page 14 of the Statement, under the heading Background of the Offer-Events Occurring After Board Involvement:
The representatives of Parent indicated that such reduction was based on non-public information received from the Company regarding Companys financial performance for the third quarter of 2012 and projections received from the Company for 2013.
The following is added before the antepenultimate sentence of the third full paragraph on page 15 of the Statement, under the heading Background of the Offer-Events Occurring After Board Involvement:
The Special Committee discussed the need to confirm that Contrans (and its affiliates) desire to close any potential transaction in 2012 was due solely to tax planning considerations and not due to some other undisclosed motive.
The following is added after the fourth sentence of the first paragraph on page 16 of the Statement, under the heading Background of the Offer-Events Occurring After Board Involvement.
Representatives of Morgan Stanley also discussed the tax concern raised by Mr. Simmons (and his affiliates) and the potential implications that the national presidential election could have on the capital gains tax.
The following is added as a new paragraph after the last paragraph on page 19 of the Statement, under the heading Background of the Offer-Events Occurring Prior to Board Involvement.
Shortly after the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement were executed, Morgan Stanley contacted eleven potential strategic buyers in order to solicit a higher offer and none of the potential buyers contacted expressed interest in pursuing a transaction. In addition Morgan Stanley has not received any unsolicited inquiries from other potential buyers.

The following is added after the first sentence of the first paragraph on page 27 of the Statement, under the heading Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Financial Advisor to the Special CommitteeComparable Companies Analysis:
In deriving these ranges, Morgan Stanley focused on the aggregate value to estimated 2013 EBITDA multiples because, in Morgan Stanleys judgment, forward-looking EBITDA informs the market price of the Company and the comparable companies, and because Morgan Stanleys analysis was being performed as of November 8, 2012, which is close to the end of 2012.
The following is added at the end of the first paragraph on page 27 of the Statement, under the heading Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Financial Advisor to the Special CommitteeComparable Companies Analysis:
In deriving a range of AV/EBITDA multiples of 6.5x to 8.0x, Morgan Stanley noted that the mean of the ratios of the aggregate value to estimated 2013 EBITDA for the comparable companies excluding Toho Titanium was approximately 7.2x.
The following is added as a new paragraph after the first paragraph on page 27 of the Statement, under the heading Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Financial Advisor to the Special CommitteeComparable Companies Analysis:

The following is added to replace the first paragraph on page 29 of the Statement, under the heading Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Financial Advisor to the Special CommitteePrecedent Transactions Analysis:
Morgan Stanley noted that that the Offer Price implied a multiple of transaction value to the Companys EBITDA for the 12 month period ending September 30, 2012, based on Company managements then-preliminary results for third quarter 2012 (which were subsequently publicly disclosed by the Company), of 13.9x. Based on its professional judgment and taking into consideration, among other things, the observed multiples for the selected transactions, Morgan Stanley applied AV/LTM EBITDA multiples ranging from 10.0x to 12.5x to the Companys EBITDA for the 12 month period ending September 30, 2012, based on Company managements preliminary results for third quarter 2012 (which were subsequently publicly disclosed by the Company), and derived a reference range of implied equity value per share of the Common Stock of $11.75 to $14.75.

The following is added after the first sentence of the second paragraph on page 29 of the Statement, under the heading Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Financial Advisor to the Special CommitteePrecedent Transactions Analysis:
Morgan Stanley observed that over this period, the average premium paid in such transactions was 35.1%, the average premium paid in the subset of such transactions involving all-cash consideration was 37.9%, and the average premium paid in the subset of such transactions involving all-stock consideration was 28.9%.
The following is added to replace the third sentence of the fourth paragraph on page 29 of the Statement, under the heading Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Financial Advisor to the Special CommitteeDiscounted Cash Flow Analysis:
Morgan Stanley calculated the net present value of unlevered free cash flows, defined as earnings before interest less taxes, plus depreciation and amortization less capital expenditures, and less increases or plus decreases in working capital and other assets and liabilities, respectively, for the Company for calendar years 2013 through 2017 and calculated terminal values based on a terminal exit multiple of next 12 months EBITDA ranging from 6.5x to 8.0x (a range consistent with the range of AV/EBITDA multiples Morgan Stanley derived from its comparable companies analysis).
The following is added as a new paragraph after the fourth paragraph on page 29 of the Statement, under the heading Opinion of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Financial Advisor to the Special CommitteeDiscounted Cash Flow Analysis:
The chart below sets forth (in millions) the unlevered free cash flows, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), capital expenditures, estimated EPS, change in net working capital and net working capital balances that Morgan Stanley utilized in its discounted cash flow analysis, based on the projections contained in the Street Case, Management Case A and Management Case B.

ITEM 8. | ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. |
Item 8, Additional Information is hereby amended to add the following supplemental disclosure:
The following is added to replace the first sentence of the fifth full paragraph on page 35 of the Statement, under the heading Certain Company Projections:
However, in connection with the evaluation of a possible transaction involving the Company, the Company provided Parent twelve-month, unaudited, stand-alone financial forecasts for calendar year 2013 that were prepared by our management specifically for this transaction on October 21 through 23, 2012, and not for public disclosure.
The following is added to replace the first full paragraph on page 36 of the Statement, under the heading Certain Company Projections:
The Company also provided the Twelve-Month Projections to Morgan Stanley in connection with the rendering of Morgan Stanleys opinion described under Item 4 (see Opinion of Morgan Stanley and Co LLC, Financial Advisor to the Special Committee). In addition, the Company provided to Morgan Stanley, at Morgan Stanleys request, two sets of five-year, unaudited, standalone financial forecasts that were prepared by our management specifically for this transaction and not for public disclosure. The first set of Five-Year Projections were prepared on October 30, 2012 and were based on the assumptions contained in 2013 Management Case A described above (Management Case A), along with future growth assumptions consistent with industry estimates for commercial aircraft build rates based on the commercial aircraft delivery forecasts published from time to time by The Airline Monitor, a leading aerospace publication. The second set of Five-Year Projections were prepared on November 1, 2012 and were based on the assumptions contained in 2013 Management Case B described above (Management Case B), along with future growth assumptions consistent with industry estimates for commercial aircraft build rates based on the commercial aircraft

delivery forecasts published from time to time by The Airline Monitor. These Five-Year Projections were not provided to Parent. The Management Case A and the Management Case B scenarios are referred to as the Five-Year Projections. The Twelve-Month Projections and the Five-Year Projections are referred to as the Projections. The Company did not prepare separate five-year projections based on the assumptions contained in the 2013 Management Case C described above, because Morgan Stanley did not request that the Company provide five-year projections based on the assumptions contained in the 2013 Management Case C.
